Mmm... mmm...
By your command, O Allah,
everything will happen, oh everything will happen.
Free from all troubles,
goodness will be born, oh goodness will be born.
A soulful love was born today,
two lives have become one.
Through every birth, you and I will be together.
By your command, O Allah,
everything will happen, oh everything will happen.
Free from all troubles,
goodness will be born, oh goodness will be born.
Our love has the blessing of marriage,
and Allah's grace will unite us.
Is the form of my Mumtaz wilting in sorrow?
I came running to you; now you are my very own body.
If you were ever away from me,
a lush garden would turn into a desert for me.
If you walk beside me,
why would I need any other heaven here?
When I look at you,
and you look at me,
our eyes sing a wedding tune.
By your command, O Allah,
everything will happen, oh everything will happen.
Free from all troubles,
goodness will be born, oh goodness will be born.
A soulful love was born today,
two lives have become one.
Through every birth, you and I will be together.
By your command, O Allah,
everything will happen, oh everything will happen.
Free from all troubles,
goodness will be born, oh goodness will be born.
I plucked blossoms for this flower-like beauty,
and I strung them into this floral garland.
Adorning you with the garland and the sacred thali (wedding thread),
I will hold you in my arms, swaying in love's sweet swing.
Listen, to delight your ears,
I will recite the Gita of love every day.
And for all time,
I will be like Radha touched by Krishna.
Oh my darling, my sweet love,
this rain of longing will never, ever stop.
By your command, O Allah,
everything will happen, oh everything will happen.
Free from all troubles,
goodness will be born, oh goodness will be born.
A soulful love was born today,
two lives have become one.
Through every birth, you and I will be together.
By your command, O Allah,
everything will happen, oh everything will happen.
Free from all troubles,
goodness will be born, oh goodness will be born.
